Indian Snacky Lunch
Most Indian vegetarian snacks – vegetable samosas, onion bhajis and pakoras – are vegan. They make a delicious lunch, eaten cold on the go or warmed through and served with vegan yoghurt, salad and the like. They are widely available too, with most supermarkets selling mixed packs or individual items. Just read the labels, as ever. Just avoid those with dairy yoghurt dips!
If you’re interested in the nutrition side of things, both gram flour (the bhajis) and wheat flour are both good sources of protein, iron and such. On the down side, they are fried…!

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?
We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference!
